The deadline to cure (correct) your absentee/mail ballot is by the 5th calendar day after a primary, general, or special election that includes a federal office or the third business day after any other election. Counties are requested to notify voters if there is a missing or mismatched signature on the absentee/mail ballot envelope. Voters can typically verify their signature by calling, visiting the county office, or by using the TXT2Cure platform. Track the status of your ballot using your state’s online resource.  

If you voted a provisional ballot, you do not need to take any action.  If you voted a conditional provision ballot, you need to bring an acceptable ID to your polling location before 7pm on Election Day or to a Post-Election Verification Site by 5pm on the fifth calendar day after a general election that includes a federal office or the third business day after any other election. 

Contact your election officials to find your post-election verification site and track the status of your provisional ballot using your state’s online resource.

For information on state campaign contributions, please visit your state's resource.

Information on local, state and federal candidates and ballot measures may be available here.

Voters who do not mail back their ballot by the recommended deadline have until 7:00 p.m. on Election Day to drop off their ballot at their County Recorder’s Office or any ballot drop-box or voting location in the county. All ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m.

Yes, you can vote in Arizona without a traditional address. Just fill out the No Residence Address Confirmation and submit it with your registration form. You can use one of the following as your registration address: 

• A shelter you return to 
• Where you currently stay 
• Your county courthouse 
• A general delivery post office nearby 

Not having a fixed home does not disqualify you from voting. 

AM I REQUIRED TO SHOW ID TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN ARIZONA? 

Yes, you must provide proof of residence and proof of citizenship to receive a full ballot (which includes federal, state, and local races). If you don’t provide proof of citizenship, you can still register, but you’ll only receive a federal-only ballot when it is time to vote.

In Arizona, if you are registered with a particular party, you may only vote in that party's primary. If you are unaffiliated with any political party, you may request a ballot to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary.  

Note: The provision for an open primary does not apply to the Presidential Preference Election. Only voters of a participating party may vote on that party's ballot. Independent (unaffiliated) voters may change their voter registration to a designated party by the registration deadline. After the election, voters may change their registration back to unaffiliated.

This includes getting assistance at the polling place by poll workers from two different parties, or from someone who you choose to help you.

HAVA Hotline:

The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) can help people who have questions about voting with disabilities. The Arizona Center for Disability Law runs a hotline to help answer questions. You can call them at 602-274-6287 or 1-800-927-2260 anytime from 7am-7pm on Election Day.

Option 1: Show ONE photo ID with your name and address 

Examples include:

The voting systems used in Arizona are Optical Scan and DRE.

Optical Scan: With this system, you will receive a card or sheet of paper, which you take over to a private table or booth. The card has the names of the candidates and ballot measures printed on it. With a pen or pencil you fill in a little box or circle or the space between two arrows. When you are finished filling out all the cards, you bring the cards over to a ballot box, where poll workers will show you how to put the cards in the box. Or in some places, you may feed the completed cards or papers into a computer device that checks your card or paper right there at the polling place to make sure you have voted the way you want to and counts the votes.

Direct Recording Electronic (DRE): All the information about who and what you are voting for is on an electronic screen like a TV or computer screen.

There are many variations of DREs because lots of companies are inventing new ones, and many cities, counties and states are trying them out. Usually, after you have signed in, the poll workers will give you a card that you slide into a device to start your voting session.

Some of these devices will show all of the candidates and ballot choices on one big screen. Often, with these big screen devices you push a button next to the name of the candidate you want to vote for (or yes or no on a ballot measure). On other DREs, the screen is set up to show pages. On each screen or page, there will probably be one thing to vote on. For example, on one screen or page, you might vote for president. Then you might move to the next page to vote for senator. Often these small-screen devices have a touch screen where you touch the screen next to the name of the person you want to vote for. Other devices have a key pad. And some have a keyboard, so you can write in the name of someone you want to vote for.

You let the system know you are finished voting by pushing a button, touching the screen or entering something on a keypad.

You can learn more about voting systems by checking out the Elections Assistance Commission's (EAC) resource.
